Hafele has expanded its footprint in Uttar Pradesh with the opening of a new Hafele Design Studio in Kanpur, strengthening its reach across India’s emerging Tier 2 markets. Located at Deputy Ka Padav, the new studio is aimed at bringing Hafele’s portfolio of interior solutions closer to homeowners, architects and interior designers in the region.
Spread across approximately 1,800 sq. ft., the Design Studio has been developed as an interactive space where customers and design professionals can explore Hafele’s products through functional displays and real-life applications. The studio features a broad portfolio covering architectural hardware, sliding solutions, premium appliances, bathroom accessories, kitchen solutions, digital locks, glass fittings, wardrobe solutions, surfaces and lighting.
The new facility is designed to cater to the changing requirements of homeowners in Kanpur, with a focus on space optimisation, premium home upgrades and smart living. Functional displays, including sinks and faucets, allow visitors to experience the products firsthand and understand their applications within different interior settings.
“Kanpur is an important addition to Hafele’s growing presence across Tier 2 markets. The city has a growing demand for modern, functional and premium interior solutions, and our new Design Studio brings our complete portfolio closer to homeowners and design professionals in the region. It also gives architects and interior designers an opportunity to explore our solutions in person and create more informed specifications for their projects,” said Nilesh Dave, Executive Director, Hafele India.
The studio also aims to simplify product discovery by allowing customers to interact with solutions rather than relying solely on product catalogues or specifications.
“The Design Studio is designed to make product exploration more interactive and accessible. With functional displays across different categories, customers can see how our solutions work within real spaces and understand the possibilities before making their choices,” said Gregory Chacko, Business Head, Hafele India.
With the Kanpur launch, Hafele continues to broaden its network through established franchise partners. The expansion is part of the company’s efforts to improve accessibility to its interior solutions across emerging markets in India while creating dedicated spaces for customers and design professionals to experience its offerings.
